WHAT WISE MEN HAVE SAID.

w w A1l< &A<< ' - N<<A@>s
Solid Chunks of Wisdom Evolved by
Great Minds.
Not all games are games ofchance.
In some of them the dupe has no
chance at all.
A man lives by believing some
thing, not by debating and arguing
about many things.-Carlisle.
Can man or woman choose du-
ties? No more than they can choose
their birthplace, or their father and
mother.-Geo. Eliot.
Our condition never satisfies us;
the present is always the worst.
Though Jupiter should grant his
request to each, we should continue
to importune him.-F'0ataiae.
There can be no peace In human
life without the contempt of all
events. He that troubles his head
with drawing consequences from
mere contingencies shall never be at
rest.-L' Estrange.
None have more pride than those
who dream that they have none.
You may labor against vain glory
till you conceive that you are hum
BILE, and the fond conceit of your hui
mility will prove to be pride in full
blooD.-Spurgeon.
Every man takes care that his
neighbor shall not cheat him. But
day comes when he begins to care
that he do not cheat his neighbor.
Then all goes well. He has changed
his market-cart into a chariot of the
sun.-EmersoR.
No person or thing can do our
character as much harm as we can
do ourselves, indeed, none can do it
any harm but ourselves. For men
may put stumbling blocks in our
way, but it is we who make them
stumbling blocks.-Union Signal.
Alexander, who is reported to
have been an exceedingly swift run
ner, was once solicited to run in the
Olympic games. He answered: Il
will if kings are mine antagonists "
Give me such q saint who will pur-
sue nothing on earth unsuitable to
his birth from heaven.-lSecker.
Not a day passes over the earth
but men and women of no note dc
great deeds, speak great words and
suffer. noble sorrows. Of these -ob,
scure heroes, philosophers and mar
tyrs the greater part will never bC
known till that hour when many
that were great shall be small and
the small great.-Chdrtes Redde.
1t does not pay
at never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheaply bought with pain.
A humble lot a cozy cot,
Have tempted even kings;
For station high that wealth will buy,
Naught of contentment brings"
T. We must find weak spot or two
in the character before we can love
it much. People who do not laugh
or cry, or take more of anything
than is good for them, or use any
thing but dictionary words, are ad'
mirablc subjects for biographers.
But we don't care most for those
fine pattern flowers that press best
in the herbarium.-O. ". Holmes

How S
Your Liver?

Is the Oriental salutatiOn,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without q
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con
situated, the food lies
in the stomach undigest-
ed, poisoning the blood;
frequent headache ensues;
a feeling of lassitude, de
spondency and nervous
ness indicate how the
whole system is deranged.
simmons Liver Regulator
has been the means of re-
storing more people to
health and happiness by
giving them a healthy
Liver than any agency
known ON earth. Il acts
with extraordinary power
and efficacy.

waiting for long weeks, hoping that the
council wonld fulfill its promises and
commence the promised street improve
ments. Now that these improvements
are about to be undertaken, the same
old shOrt-sightedness and utter disre-
gard of the needs of our unemployed
citizens is noted and the work for which
scores of heads Of families, paying taxes
in this city, have been waiting, is turn
ed over to contractor to skin wages TO
starvation point, in order that the prof
its may go into his own pocket. This
Is natural. A contractor looks out for
himself. 1t Ia not natural, necessary,
wise or economical, for the city to do
her work this way. She can pay TWEEN
ty-tive per cent. more wages than any
contractor can, and still have the work
done for the same money. The contrac-
tors profit making the difference. 1t
was q very shOrt-sighted piece of bust
ness, for which there was no excuse.

BURKE'S NEW SOUTH.

To no one man is the south Of today so
much indebted as to Major E. A. Burke
OF the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
He has been the head and direction OF
that vast movement by which the
energy and industrial skill and manu-.
featuring enterprise of the north has
descended into the plains of the south
and made OF that section "new south. "
In his recent address before the LOuisi-
anapress association, Major Burke took
occasion to refer to these changes, con-
trasting the present conditions OF the
southern industries with the anti-belum
conditions and saying some plain things
for their ears, which to many, no doubt,
seemed too much in accord with north
ern idea and sentiment to be fully accept.
ed. The truths deducibe from the
Majors address are: The defeat OF the
confederacy the greatest blessing that
could have been conferred upon the
south; the south the coming candidate
for the immigration that has so long
flowed to the great northwest; the in
crease of manufacturing enterprises not
made at the expense of agriculture.
There is, however, one thing that Major
Burke might have emphasized in speak
ing of the need Of making justice thing
to be had speedily and without delay,
cheaply and without price" and that is
that this justice must be without dis
tinctiOn as to color or to poverty condi-
tiOns. Until there is one law for all, one
standard Ofjustice for all, one accepted
condition Of industrial and political
rights, there will not be an enjoyment
by the south of the full measure Of pros
perity which her natural resources rem
der possible

IN The OLD RUT.

The proceedings of Mondays council
show that our respected city fathers are
still in that ancient and honorable rut,
concerning the employment OF street
force, which gave rise to such an amount
of having and geeing one year ago.
The failures, repeated and glazing, to Sc
cure the performance of city work in q
satisfactory manner under the contract
system; the evident economy of the city
employment system when the use Ofcity
property for carrying on the work under
contract is considered;the more complete
control of the work by the council I'M
der all circumstances and during all it's
stages, count for nothing and the old VIC
ious contract system is adhered to, simp-
ly because as it was in the beginning and
Is now, it must continue to be until this
council has ended. 1t is too late to con-
tinue to carry our grist to mill with a
stone in one end Of the meal sack merely
because our fathers did it. The work
OF this city should be done by the city
not for the city. The results under con-
tract are not satisfactory. as was seen in
the controversy before the council on
Monday. The rival bidding forces work
below what greedy contractors would
be willing to guarantee a first class job
for, and as a result the work is sighted
at every possible point, wages are forced
below living rates, the tools and appli-
ances belonging to the city are misused
rs well as used, the city gain
Ing no benefit for the invest
ment and there is constant
Wrangle over specifications, terms OF
contract ETC., and in the end poor work
and dissatisfaction. The city can do all
street and plaza work more satisfactori-
ly, pay better wages than contractor
will By twenty-five per cent. and do it
with no greater expense to the city than
by the contract system. All that is
gained by the contract system is the re-
moVal from the shoulders OF the council
OF little work of supervision, which
naturally belongs to them as the NUM-
cipal head Of affairs and which, by their
election, was made part Of their duty.
